Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the hammerhead shark as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the shark had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.

    I agree with those people, if we knew exactly might even understand the Answer of 42 as well.

    My guess is that the question is, "How old was god when he created the universe?"

    or, for a darker take, "How old was God when he died?"

    Assuming there is a single god and there cant be one before or after him, his age is surely interesting. But if there are multiple gods or they succeed each other or something like that, it matters much less. But since Earth was not created by God (in the book/movie i mean, cant say anything for sure irl), how would Earth be an experiment in figuring out the Answer?
